Reyes has obviously seen Goodfellas 50 or 60 times.

Yes, we're walking those mean streets again. Good thing we're taking a few unanticipated turns.

A yawningly familiar melodrama about an enterprising hustler who's undone by his own ambitions.

This is the most predictable plot twist since The Greatest Story Ever Told. You really know this one is coming and it just ruins the whole movie.

Like its protagonist, the movie tries to rise above convention, flails about a bit, and slides back into self-parody.

This movie ... doesn't deserve the energy it takes to describe how bad it is.

...a slick yet mostly generic thriller that boasts little in the way of innovative, surprising attributes...

A god awful violent fantasy that glorifies the lifestyle.

Even if you haven't seen any of the tell-all television spots, every beat of this crime drama will look and sound familiar.
